Man flies with set of homemade bird wings?

and theres me thinking his name was Icarus!

On a Dutch TV show named, with utter Dutchness, De Wereld Draait Door, the man previously known as Jarno Smeets–of the Human Bird Wing video, in which he flies under mostly his own power–confessed to faking the whole thing. Dude’s name isn’t even Jarno Smeets! It’s Floris Kaayk, and he’s a “CGI artist” with degrees in animation. Apparently the video was part of a documentary, the subject of which is unclear (but could totally be “how to fool the internet with an obviously fake video”).

I know it’s impossible but I had to look at that several times before I was certain it was CGI (I couldn’t hear the commentary as I’ve no sound on my computer at the moment); if that’s ‘home made’ CGI it’s pretty good…

…it won’t be long before we really can’t tell the difference!

Yes. It’s real CGI
